Candle arches


What exactly is meant by a Schwibbogen?

The candle arches known to us have a long history, even before they served only for decoration as we know. Briefly explained: A candle arch is a light arch on a stable base, which originally comes from the small town of Seiffen in the Erzgebirge and is primarily used for Christmas decoration. There are the Lichterbögen in different shapes and sizesößen, as a semicircle, trapezoid or triangle.

In the past, the archway had a completely different meaning. They were placed in the windows to show the miners the way home in the dark. The lights on the Schwibbogen brought out the miners' longing for daylight that they often did not get to see for weeks, especially in winter.

The motifs in the individual sheets reflect the everyday life of the miners. In the 20th century the beautiful decoration was still made of metal. Today, most of them are made of wood, lovingly handcrafted. Also, the wax candles that were popular in the past are no longer contemporary, because today's candle arches are mainly electrically operated.

Of course, our Seiffen Candle arches can be used not only for interior decoration. Also in the outside area one would like to set up an atmospheric Christmas lighting. For this purpose we offer a selection of Erzgebirge candle arches made of metal, which are weatherproof due to the stable material. These are available in different sizes and equipped with 7 lights each.
